我们评估了在中国为控制新冠疫情爆发而被隔离一个月后正常生活和工作的成年人的健康和幸福状况。2020年2月20日至21日，我们对中国64个城市的369名成年人进行了调查，这些城市的新冠确诊病例率各不相同，我们调查了他们的健康状况、痛苦程度和生活满意度。27%的参与者在办公室工作，38%选择在家工作，25%因疫情停止工作。那些停止工作的人报告称其心理和身体健康状况以及痛苦程度更差。一个人所在城市的新冠疫情严重程度可预测其生活满意度，并且这种关系取决于个人已有的慢性健康问题以及其锻炼时长。我们的证据表明需要关注未感染病毒的人的健康，尤其是在疫情期间停止工作的人。我们的研究结果强调，在封锁期间，经常运动的人可能更容易出现幸福感受损的问题。考虑采取限制措施以控制新冠疫情的政策制定者可能会从了解此类健康和幸福方面的影响中受益。
We assess the health and wellbeing of normal adults living and working after one month of confinement to contain the COVID-19 outbreak in China. On Feb 20-21, 2020, we surveyed 369 adults in 64 cities in China that varied in their rates of confirmed coronavirus cases on their health conditions, distress and life satisfaction. 27% of the participants worked at the office, 38% resorted to working from home, and 25% stopped working due to the outbreak. Those who stopped working reported worse mental and physical health conditions as well as distress. The severity of COVID-19 in an individual's home city predicts their life satisfaction, and this relationship is contingent upon individuals' existing chronic health issues and their hours of exercise. Our evidence supports the need to pay attention to the health of people who were not infected by the virus, especially for people who stopped working during the outbreak. Our results highlight that physically active people might be more susceptible to wellbeing issues during the lockdown. Policymakers who are considering introducing restrictive measures to contain COVID-19 may benefit from understanding such health and wellbeing implications.
